Emergency Shelters are opened when an incident or event requires that residents evacuate their homes. Shelters provide a safe environment for evacuees to stay during the mitigation of the incident. Norwich has one primary and several alternate locations in the unlikely event a shelter is needed. American Red Cross operates and support our shelter operations.
